DESTRUCTION OR REBIRTH
-PROTECTION LANDSCAPE IN THE DANGEROUS INDUSTRIAL AREA
At the edge of urbanization, Yuhuazhai, a group of people living in the gap between the urban and rural areas, and there are serious security risks around them. “Yuhuazhai” is a densely populated region, close to chemical factories. Probable chemical explosions, severe pollution, extremely imperfect ecosystems, and fragile urban transitional areas, all of these problems need landscape to solve and release, therefore stability of the ecosystem in this region would be improved, and ecologically protected areas would be established which are self-healing. Moreover, the awareness of human-centered landscape is gradually diminished. The negative effects to ecosystem by human would be decreased gradually. This design consists of three parts: 1. In the aerobic wetland adjacent to the urban road, we build animal corridors, ecological corridors, and ecological wetlands, which could enhance the participation of animals, and reduce the negative impact of cities on the surrounding areas. 2. In the ecological safety protection belt near the chemical factories, we reduce the damage of the explosion through vertical surface change; absorb harmful gases from chemical factories through reasonable planting and collocation; and prevent or reduce
